A novel approach to automating context-driven alternative text generation through purposeful games See

Accessibility of the Web is a pervasive issue, owing to the persistence of accessibility barriers (e.g., poor navigation, lack of/unsuitable alternative text (alt text), complex web forms), with significant impact on users with disabilities. Alt text barriers in particular, are some of&...

Quality of life and multiple long-term conditions in Southeast Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis See

This review systematically synthesised the evidence on quality of life measures and outcomes for people living with multiple long-term conditions in the Southeast Asia region. Results were analysed using a combination of methods, meta-analysis for studies where the same quality of life ...

Search for charged-lepton flavour violation in top quark interactions with an up-type quark, a muon, an d a τ lepton in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV See

A search for charged-lepton flavour violation (CLFV) in top quark (t) production and decay is presented. The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to 138 fb collected with the CMS experiment at √s = 13 TeV. The signal consists of the production of a single...

Mandated joint audits: are two auditors better than one? See

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the United Kingdom called for the nation’s largest accounting firms to conduct mandatory joint audits of FTSE 350 companies to enhance audit competition, reduce market concentration, and improve audit quality. Using a large sample of Europe...

Analysis of backhaul networks for developing countries to support next generation communication systems See

In its most basic form, the target of fifth generation (5G) is to provide reliable and continued connectivity for the user despite obstacles and challenges. These obstacles and challenges vary depending on the scenario, whether it’s an urban or rural area in developed or devel...
